Ellend: Hey, everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Gustafson RV vanity light. This is going to be a three light with a frosted glass over each one of those lights. This does come with the bulbs already installed, and these are going to be a 9/12 or 9/21 style bulbs, so pretty common little sort of wedge style bulb. It is an incandescent bulb, but I'm going to turn these on so you can get a better idea of what they'll look like installed.As you can see, nice bright light that you can use in your RV, maybe in your bathroom area or as kind of an extra light somewhere.
I've also seen customers install these vertically, which is pretty cool. They just look really nice. It does have a little indicator that says you should install it with the bulbs facing down to provide you some better lighting, especially if you're mounting this above a mirror or something like that, but a pretty useful universal light that you can install just about anywhere.I'm going to turn the lights out in the studio so you can get a better idea of what those look like. If I pull that away, you can see we still get kind of a nice warm light from these. They just look really nice.
It's a fairly heavy fixture. It feels really solid in your hand. The glass is pretty thick. I think this is going to last for a long time and give you a really attractive light to replace that one that came in your RV.Now as far as the install goes, I'm going to turn my power off here so you can talk about it. We will have just a few wires to hook up.
Each light is going to have two white wires coming from it. They don't really give you any kind of indication of which light goes where or which wire goes where, so pretty much just grab one side of the light, attach it to ground, and then they grab the other side and attach it to power. That's pretty much all you have to do there. I just have these wrapped up so I could just attach them one to one for my power and ground.If we flip this around you'll be able to see that back plate. This is attached to the front with that little kind of knob there for keeping all the wires in place.
Then there's some little holes coming through so you can attach this plate to your wall. The plate attaches to the front with these little bolts and knobs and then the plate attaches to the wall. It doesn't include any mounting hardware, so you will have to pick up some on your own, but that's why it gets the four hole light, since it does use four holes to mount it up.As far as the size, the base measures 18-1/2" from this edge here to the other side. Front to back, it measures about 2-5/8" deep. Then the base is about 2-1/2" tall. With those shades, they're a little bit taller than the base itself, and that's about 3-1/2".I think this is a really nice looking light. It's definitely an improvement over your typical OEM lights that come with your RV. Pretty easy to set up. You can replace those bulbs out pretty easily, so it should be a pretty attractive light. Now, this doesn't have a switch that comes with it, so you'll have to wire this to a preexisting switch on your RV, or if you don't already have one, you can pick a lot of options out here etrailer.com. If you want one with a dimmer or just an on off switch, we have all kinds of different situations available here, so I would definitely check those out if you need them.That's going to do it for our look at the Gustafson RV vanity light.
Average Customer Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (47 Customer Reviews)
Delivered promptly and the product was exactly as advertised. The price was the best part. Newmar quoted $140 per fixture versus etrailer at less than half the cost. Reinforces the importance of comparison shopping to get the lowest price for the same item. The coach/trailer manufacturers will always charge a tremendous premium for parts. The fixture was easy to install with basic tools. I replaced the incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs; just as bright at a tenth of the amperage.
Installed this lighting fixture on our boat using LED bulbs. Very pleased with the look and the lower drain on the batteries!
This product is exactly what I wanted and works great. It adds so much more light to our bathroom. However, it came hardly wrapped in a box way to big for the light unit and there were NO instructions. However, we were able to figure it out and we are happy with the results.
Love it, it fits perfect in the bathroom and looks great! Very satisfied.
We bought this to replace the OEM light fixture in our RV. This is an attractive fixture that provides plenty of bright light in the bathroom. We installed two years ago and it is still working great. We just had one of the three LED bulbs burn out, so I’m now looking for a replacement. Recommend this light fixture for an attractive, more energy efficient replacement.
5 out of 5 stars, beautiful
Great light replacement for bathroom remodel / upgrade.
Bought this because I liked the appearance. I have a 25 year old 5th wheel that had all original lighting, appliances, furniture, etc. that I am using like a stationary tiny house would be. I wanted more of a residential look than RV appearance. When I removed the old fixture, I found that one of the light sockets was corroded, so it needed replacing for functional reasons, anyway. This new fixture adds a lot to the appearance of the bathroom and helps it look more like a real home. No functional issues and it was easy to install.
It installed easily and works great. I expected it to be LED, but it wasn't(my fault for not checking first). I was hoping for a little brighter light, but it's better than what I had.
The light is exactly as pictured. I will be installing it in my RV bath room. The satin nickel finish will a nice up grade for the motor home. the only draw back might be the weight of the light. Only time will tell.
We purchased the 2-light and 3-light Gustafson vanity fixtures and are very pleased with both. They are well-made and heavy and look like something you would purchase at a quality lighting store. We replaced our dated polished brass fixtures with these, and they look very nice with our stained oak cabinets. Would definitely recommend.
I am only giving this light fixture of the three stars for the following reason. The light fixture with three 12 volt plug in bulbs (Came one week after I ordered it. )The bulb sockets are slanted downward to avoid hitting the crystals in front of them. The directions say to install the fixture with the bulbs facing downward. When I opened the package one bulb had already fallen out of its socket. To install this in a moving RV in that fashion would be suicide as they an all fall out on the first trip. So I ignored the instructions and have the bulbs slanting upwards . Sure it will be more complicated to replace a bulb since I would have to take the fixture loose from the cabinet, but to have the bulbs slanting down would result in broken bulbs in the sink.
Can't have one without the other.
When it came the box was open. Someone was in a hurry and didn't tape it right.Any other then a little dent I'm satisfied with the purchase.
Very nice fixture and easy to install. Heavier than expected due to the thick glass shades but well built with good bulb sockets. Not flimsy like a lot of RV fixtures.
Would have been a 5 if there was mounting hardware (screws)

Ordering was effortless and was able to get stuff to carry ebike, hitch plus the bike rack plus stuff for the RV all in one order. The hitch went on effortlessly with your addition of the cables to thread the bolts through the frame. Only took us 10 minutes longer than the video said and we didn't have the Explorer on a rack. The hitch went together fine and it is heavy. My wife can load the 75lb bike without me. Hooray!!! Now I just have to install the light and fan in the RV. Thanks etrailer. Great experience so far.
We bought a new (to us) RV which had all gold fixtures. We wanted to switch over to the brushed nickel. We bought this light to replace the gold one over the vanity. It looks beautiful and is great quality. We have started to order more items from etrailer. I was not familiar with this company but now that I have discovered it, I will be using more. I was sent notifications on time of delivery and products come within days of placing order. Great quality! Great service!
Heavy duty and looks nice. Haven't installed yet
Thank you for your prompt attention to the broken light fixture and replacing it by sending in priority mail which allowed for installation before our trip. We appreciate you very much and your kind and courteous employees. Love the vanity light.
